don't do it just for chatter!!!

its a mappable system so a bit more reliable than MFi, just starting mine is so much easier now, 1st turn of the key every time

Why does everybody say the MFi is unreliable. Mine has hardly given any trouble in ten years. It's an ok set up if looked after. There is also plenty of tuning scope with the MFi system

oranco does have a point, like the guy in my local garage said to me, the k jet system isnt bad at all really. i just would like some more wastegate noise really and ive been told with efi i wont need the car settin up every few months
